Friday and the Random 10

Yes, it's that time again boys and girls (especially the ladies...) for another dance with the gods of randomness. So set that miscellaneous music device to random and let the chips fall where they may!

1) Styx/A.D. 1928 - The reprise of the Best of Times theme to close out the Paradise Theater album. Yeah, this one:


2) Starcastle/Forces - Basically, the American version (or attempt) of Yes. I do like their music though.

3) Korn/I'm Done - Well that was a mood changer.

4) Chicago/Cry for the Lost - From the Stone of Sisyphus album, which had an interesting history of being rejected by the record company for 15 years. The love song 80's really killed this band, but yall know my theories on that.

5) Genesis/Home by the Sea - They were awesome during the 80's/90's

6) Yes/Siberian Khatru - Live version from The Word is Live. Interesting collection of concert performances from them , but I prefer the studio stuff. And nobody seems to know what a "khatru" is.

7) Pink Floyd/Shine on You Crazy Diamond - You know, I never cared much for PF (maybe because I'm not a pot-head), but I have given them a try. I read up on them and this song dealing with the nutbag of Syd Barret. Crazy diamond indeed...

8) Britney Spears/Circus - Move along, nothing to see here. Let's pretend you never saw this one.

9) Def Leppard/Answer to the Master - Early stuff before they were huge. I didn't even recognize this one.

10) Yes/Starship Trooper - Another live version from somewhere. Doesn't sound like Jon is singing either. I need to delete some of this stuff.

Well that's it for another week and remember, groups should not hire new singers from tribute bands. Also, if you're a rock band, just because you have a hit with a love song doesn't mean every song from now until eternity has to be a love song (ahem, Chicago...and Journey...and too many others to list). Do what you do best. The STCS for this week is The Moody Blues/Lovely to See You. If you have any music recommendations for me, please leave them in the comments section below. Thanks!

Play us out boys!

P.S. And do not forget to recommend this blog continues.
